They used to call them G-strings.
Back when thongs were what you wore on your feet. Before those became flip-flops.
Then they started saying that we should call garments designed to just go right up your butt-crack -- leaving the cheeks in full view -- thongs. (When's the last time you heard somebody mention a G-string?) I could see that, since the material in the crack is kind of like the part of the flip-flop (formerly, the thong) that goes between your big and second toes, leaving those exposed while providing what's needed to make sure that the parts that are considered to be more important are protected and not exposed.
Now, I guess you can just call those kinds of garments Olympic uniforms.
Not that I'm complaining. I mean, who doesn't like cheesecake?

Re: They used to call them G-strings.
I noticed that Dutch runner Sifan Hassan, who won gold and bronze medals in Tokyo and again in Paris, wears a more traditional uniform.

Maybe she’s conservative, or she’s more comfortable competing in regular shorts. Or maybe she’s a man posing as a woman.

Hmmm. Could be! A guy with a little wookus.
Might just be that she thinks her butt is a little too bony, though.

I guess I know the answer. Grumpy hard-asses, for one.

..what country can preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? let them take arms.

War is where the government tells you who the bad guy is.
Revolution is when you decide that for yourself.

Where I live dads complain — good-naturedly or not — about their daughters’ skimpy swimsuits or other clothes, just like they always have and always will.
Good grief. What I expected would be seen as a whimsical tour down memory lane, tracing back to when the only time that you’d see a lady intentionally exposing her heinie in public was if you were at a strip-tease show and they got down to a g-string, seems to have flustered at least a couple of y’all. I hope that at least some here see humor in observations about how these days just about all of the ladies in the Olympics (and elsewhere) consider that the butt cheeks are for all the world to see (literally).
I guess around here you can’t talk about stuff like that without eliciting aspersions about perversion. My advice to “some” would be to lighten up, Francis.

Re: They used to call them G-strings.
The cheeks were definitely made to be seen in all of their glory. Unfortunately, they don't make G-string Depends, so some can't experience the joy of letting it all hang out.wbtravis007 wrote: ↑Sat Aug 10, 2024 7:43 amReally?
